GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN DENVER?

Exclusion (sealing entry points) is more effective long-term than trapping alone for Denver rodent problems. Signs: gaps around plumbing penetrations, gnaw marks on wood trim, droppings near appliances.

700+ species across the US. Common in Denver kitchens and foundations each spring. Signs: trails near food sources, sawdust (carpenter ants), mounds in yard.

Most Denver spiders are harmless, but brown recluse and black widow bites require medical attention. Signs: violin-shaped marking on brown recluse back, red hourglass on black widow abdomen, irregular webs in undisturbed areas.

Build nests under eaves and in attics across Denver each summer. Highly aggressive when disturbed. Signs: papery nests, increased wasp activity near roof overhangs.

Roaches enter Denver homes through tiny gaps in foundations and pipe penetrations. Once inside, populations can double every 28 days. Signs: droppings under sinks, foul odor in cabinets, sightings during the day (sign of heavy infestation).

A single bed bug can lay 500 eggs in a lifetime — infestations grow quickly in Denver homes without intervention. Signs: bites on exposed skin while sleeping, blood spots on pillowcases, dark spots in mattress piping.
